Daulton Varsho, Riley Smith Called Up
4 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks called up catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho and pitcher Riley Smith from the alternate training site on Wednesday after the team placed outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) and pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) on the 10-day injured list. Varsho, who is primarily a catcher, could see more time in the outfield with Calhoun sidelined with an injury. The 24-year-old hit just .188/.287/.366 with three home runs, nine RBI and three stolen bases in 37 games in his major league debut in 2020, but he could be intriguing for fantasy purposes in two-catcher leagues because of his outfielder and catching eligibility. Smith allowed three runs on six hits over four innings to take the loss against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. The 26-year-old right-hander should get another start for the Snakes, but he's not of much interest to fantasy managers.
